Hello there!
Hope it's not intrusive, I'd really like to hear some feedback and, maybe, suggestions on improving what I've gathered and possibly saving as much money as reasonably possible.
A few weeks back I started planning on buying a new PC and so far I've gone ahead and chosen most of what I'd prefer and checked their compatibility with the rest of the parts, but I feel like I could still do better and save some more money.
I don't plan on OCing anything, unless, maybe tweaking the graphics card, but keep everything else at stock speeds. Hence I've chosen a B motherboard and a locked processor.
I'm most curious about what kind of PSU I should choose. After using various calculators to check the wattage the system would be using, that's after using all USB ports at 95% load they showed and estimate of 450-460W.
Currently I'm stuck trying to decide which I should go for - the Corsair CS550 550W or RMx 650W. The reason I've chosen these two, is that I can't get an EVGA and my local retailer has a limited supply of certain goods, which is unfortunate.
Anyway, here is my build, I'll also be purchasing a monitor and a keyboard, but those are not that important.

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.99 @ Newegg)

Storage: Samsung 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($69.99 @ B&H)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($47.33 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 8GB G1 Gaming Video Card ($408.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Case: NZXT S340 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($66.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Power Supply: Corsair RMx 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($100.56 @ B&H)
